What are the plans of Polk County Health Department to control the disease and treat the community (prophylaxis) if a pandemic occurs?
Educational materials will guide people to protect themselves. Nurse investigators will work with physicians and hospitals to identify the sick and limit their contact with well people. If vaccine is available, large, easily accessible sites will be opened, throughout the community. High priority populations will be vaccinated before the public at-large.
